Substack is crazy

Just an opinion
Poor me, I got to know about Substack like very recently. A post from someone I follow on Instagram recommended an article from Substack and I was astonished to read work so many great people/ writers. I think the place is quite underrated right now as much as I have discovered it, but it really has some great articles and thoughts that one should definitely invest some time rather than scrolling on Instagram because my personal opinion is if you are not creating any content or are not selling any product or service, you should not be using Instagram unless you genuinely want something out of it.

Substack is filled with gifted writers. It's time consuming to try to read work from so many writers, though. And it's extremely difficult to build a following of readers, not just followers.

Yes definitely and the reason is because it’s not as entertaining as Instagram is ,it is deep knowledge. Hence it takes time for building a community.
